– written by Christian Schmidt, Global Business Solutions, itelligence –

itelligence, being a major sponsor of the SAP Forum Istanbul, did successfully participate in the great event. According to SAP sources this forum was the biggest in EMEA and approx. 4000 participants did join the sessions at the Istanbul ICC. We were present with a major booth in the exhibitior’s hall and an additional smaller booth was set up near in the microforum area. Starting with a keynote presentation from Bernd Leukert, Head of Application Innovation, Global Managing Board Member of SAP, who highlighted the innovations SAP is bringing to the market, there were many interesting and fascination sessions the participants were able to choose from. itelligence did have three presentation slots, including a major presentation of the successful SAP implementation project at Fenerbahçe Istanbul – including a live demo of the Dashboards that our colleagues from itelligence Analytics built for the client. Another presentation of itelligence’s solutions for Retail Analytics was very insightful and popular.

I personally had the pleasure to present, together with Serdal Mermer, the General Manager of itelligence Analytics Turkey, the innovations around Suite on HANA and HANA Live. This session was well received, too and did get very positive feedback.

Last but not least I am very proud to share the fact that our Turkish colleagues’ client Mercedes Benz Turkey did win the SAP Quality Award 2013 for midsize companies. The client did receive the award during the starting session. Congratulations on the great BPC projects – well done!
